Howie Carr done at WRKO

For a guy who’s rarely at a loss for words on the radio, longtime WRKO host Howie Carr had
little to say Wednesday when we called to ask about his status at the
station. “I think I will respectfully decline,” the conservative yakker
said. That’s OK. His employer, Entercom Communications, confirmed for us
that Carr is leaving the AM station. “His contract with WRKO has
ended,” Entercom flak Greg Kaufman told us. “His last
show was last Friday. He’s off this week and will be starting a new
program next week. We wish him luck in all his endeavors.” Carr would
not say if — or where — he’s going, but we’re told he’s been talking to
WMEX-AM. The right-wing host has been on ‘RKO for nearly two decades,
but the relationship has been rocky of late. A few years ago, Carr tried
to take his schtick to WTKK, but Entercom blocked the move. Not this
time.
